Windows 10: camera on surface pro has stopped working. Any idea how to get it back?

The camera has stopped working all of a sudden for no apparent reason. Error code 0xA00F4271 MediaCaptureFailedEvent 0x80004005. Can you help to get it back?

Surface Pro 4 Cameras stopped working in the last 48 hours on multiple machines

Surface Pro 4 cameras stopped working on 23 Surface Pro 4's over the last two days. Was there an update that may have caused this? Our business uses several hundred of these and the camera is used up to a hundred times a day per machine.

 

Reset Surface Pro 4 Software / now have errors

I was having problems connecting to my work account so I tried to do a fresh install by using the "Reset" option. After entering my Bit Locker Recovery key it seemed to do what I was looking for. However there were some failures in the Windows update. You would think Windows 10 would play well with their own Surface Pro 4 hardware.

I noticed the Windows Hello feature stopped working. In fact under Accounts, Sign-in options it says "Windows Hello isn't available on this device. It was before I reset the software. I checked the camera app and both front and rear cameras are working.

So with the windows update failures and Windows Hello not working, I am wondering what else wont work.

When I click check for updates it says I am up to date even though it lists the failures under the update history.

Any ideas what my next steps should be?

 

Surface Pro 4 camera not working after latest Microsft update

Performed most of the above steps with the same outcome. Upon restart I get "Could not turn on the camera. Please sign on with PIN."

Thank you
